You do you. I grew up driving RWD vehicles in Michigan so I'm not bothered by a bit of oversteer when getting on the throttle. I far prefer it to losing steering if I spin the wheels in a FWD or dealing with FWD torque steer.

(Torque steer was really bad in my Spark EV and GM didn't fix it on my Bolt either)

EVs generally have near 50/50 or even rear weight bias which takes away FWD's traction advantage in slippery conditions. It can be tough getting up hills in the snow with my Bolt even with dedicated snow tires. Not enough weight over the drive wheels.
